Cuántas Veces Más

Cardellino's song 'Cuántas Veces Más' delves deep into the themes of self-discovery and personal growth. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of an individual struggling with their inner demons and the masks they wear to navigate the world. The opening lines, 'Dentro de tu piel / Hay un nudo nena / Que sostiene el disfraz que llevas hoy,' suggest a person who is entangled in their own facade, unable to see their true self. This metaphor of a 'knot' holding up a 'disguise' speaks to the internal conflicts and fears that prevent one from embracing their authentic identity.

The recurring question, 'Y cuántas veces más / Vas a elegir correr / Antes de mirar fijo el espejo y ver / Que eres tu propio Dios,' challenges the listener to confront their own reflection and recognize their inherent power and divinity. This line emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance and the courage it takes to face oneself honestly. The notion of being one's 'own God' is a powerful metaphor for self-empowerment and the realization that true strength comes from within.

The song also touches on the theme of regret and the longing for redemption. Lines like 'Naufrago en un mar de deseo en medio del asfalto / Perdí la cuenta de los tiros que eran one shot' reflect a sense of being lost and overwhelmed by desires and missed opportunities. The acknowledgment of past mistakes and the hope for future growth is evident in the lines, 'Sé que un día vas / A disfrutar tu luz / Y ya no estaré con vos,' suggesting a journey towards self-fulfillment and the eventual shedding of external dependencies. Cardellino's poignant lyrics and emotive delivery make 'Cuántas Veces Más' a compelling exploration of the human condition and the quest for inner peace.
